Post them here instead of killing other threads. I'll make the start:

Dear Peter, would you please add/change the following

VH4: keep it as it as soundwise, just add the mid cut and a second master stock, also the switchable loop

Herbert: I would love to see a 100 Watt version. Tube changes are so expensive nowadays

Einstein: keep it as it is, drop mode 3 and make the first channel with two modes switchable then

Preamp: a four channel preamp with your eq and switchable post loop eq (if possible midi programmable) would be awesome

Poweramp: a 2x100 Watt stereo poweramp with Diezel's deep circuitry would be awesome. Switchable masters is a must of course.

Schmidt: a 36 Watt EL34 Class A version with a tweakable boost would be awesome.

Thanks :)

Ehh, I don't really know about adding all that stuff to the amps.

If you turn the Herbert into a 100 watt amp you take away what it is, and its real unique qualities, the power tube combos, headroom , ect., plus you need to be shot if you complain about the price of tubes when buying ANY boutique amp, your paying for the price of sounding different then the majority, and sounding good, and if you want to sound good then you don't want the bargain basement tubes, or worry about how many the amp has.

The only thing the VH4 really needs is external bias pots so you can leave the head in a rack, if you had one, other than that, why mess with something that isn't broken.

I have no comment on the Einstein, since I've never messed with one.

If you need extra doo-dads, then start working on a RIG, get the rack stuff, get the midi stuff, these are professional tools, get pro gear, you get the head for the great source sound, and get other things that do what they do well, to keep the sound great. You start adding stuff to the circutry and it messes with the tone. If you want endless options for your buck then get a modeling amp, if you want something that sounds great that you can build off of then get a Diezel.

The only things I really think that need to be dealt with are the Mod for the Einstein modes switchablity, and external bias points for the VH4. Other than that if you can afford a Diezel, or have the drive to get one as in my case, then you should have the drive to do it right.
 
Oh yeah, that preamp and power amp would rock as well.
 
how about including a footswitch like the one included with my new JVM410H?
Doesn't have to be as fancy as the Columbus, ProStage, the Voodoo Labs GCX, Axess Electronics, or even the CAA. It doesn't even have to offer programability, just the CC feature would be fine with me.

I know the cost would increase, but I'm fine with that. Does the Engl PB, SE, etc. come with the footswitch or is that like a $200USD upcharge?
 
VH4 wish list:

1. External biasing

2. For each channel:
ch1: Perfect. No change.
ch2: Perfect. No change.
ch3: Tends to be a bit too dark on the high end. I always run an EQ to brighten it up. Consider making it brighter and improving the attack definition.
ch4: Consider differentiating it more from ch3. How about something that tries to approach the sounds artists are obtaining using multiple amps? For example, the recent Tool tones. Or for a different direction, the QOTSA overdriven VT40 wall of sound.

Herbert can keep the mid-cut and be the metal amp. I see the VH4 as the modern rock amp.

To give a point of reference, I'm running a 1997 blue face VH4. But I've spent some significant time playing a recent model and the same comments apply.
 
I have no complaints about the Diezel line. I love them all. I think they're perfect, nothing out there like them. My only gripe is that it's the only amp I know of that doesn't come with a footswitch. For over $4000, you should get a basic footswitch to select channels, engage mid/cut, volumes, or loop.
 
Well, Although Ithink Diezel is the cream of the cream... the very best, and wouldnt as more than it has... I would only say one tiny thing...

HERBERT: -/+ mode midi switchable... it would be really amazing to be able to make it fully funtional with the columbus... (like the midcut), no need to be another different channel... let it as it is, with the same eq and volumes than the channel 2, BUT just having that -/+ option switchable.. that would give us an even BIGGER field to play and enjoy the herbert :P...

simply that :P

I LOVE THE HERBERT !!!
 
Preamp!!!!!! YES!


And a poweramp too...if you have time :)
 
Make the +/- on channel 2 of the Herbert footswitchable and make all elements that are foot switchable independent from a channel.
 
A new modular amp design that will blow the others away :2thumbsup:.
 
how about a single channel metal mayhem machine?

no clean, no midi

just simply slut banging metal. make it extra brutal please.

Click to expand...

Quoted for truth. Maybe Neil can get the ball rolling. :)

Love your music btw man! :thumbsup:
 
2 "issues" with the VH4:
I would love to see the serial loop switchable, too
I would like to see a midi implementation where the functions are directly accessible (If they are, sbdy give me a hint, please). So I could have a footswitch on my midi controoler assigned to loop on/off. The way it is now I need a patch for channel with loop and channel without loop. This occupies 8 footswitches instead of 5. Same for channel insert on/off.

Other than that - no wishes, and I am really curious about the new Schmidt!
 
Don't forget to put a midcut on the 4 channel preamp too :D :D :D
Just kidding!
I wish you all happy easter vacations.
 
Only 2 things I would change about my lovley Herbert = +/- being programable by midi and having a 'deep' per channel, or a seperate one for the 3rd channel as I like it booming :D but not on my cleans :(
